    Haven't been able to vacuum as baby has been sleeping a lot (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it - did rediscover sweeping so kitchen and bathroom are ok, just not mopped.

    Living Room
    [STRIKE]Declutte[/STRIKE]r and vacuum
    [STRIKE]Empty bin[/STRIKE] though somehow it's full again - snotty tissues!

    Kitchen
    [STRIKE]Vacuum[/STRIKE] and mop
    [STRIKE]
    Clean surfaces
    Clean Sink
    [/STRIKE]

    Bedroom
    [STRIKE]
    Wash bedding
    Tidy up
    [/STRIKE]

    Bathroom
    [STRIKE]
    Tidy
    Vacuum
    [/STRIKE] and mop
    [STRIKE]
    Wipe sink and unit
    Clean toilet
    [/STRIKE]

    Did the kids bedding Tuesday and their room seems ok.

    Afternoon, Flyers.

    Firstly, Happy Birthday Choccibix and Miss Triker.[FONT=&quot]
    [/FONT]Friday is as complete as I can manage.

    Can I ask for some good thoughts myself please? I've been suffering horribly with nightmares recently - the sort where I wake up in floods of tears, and they prey on my mind for days afterwards, and I'm getting to the stage where I'm scared to sleep.:( As my sleep pattern is carp anyway, this is not good. TIA.:o

    Lame Wolf I suffer from vivid nightmares and when speaking to a colleague at work about it she said that nightmares should be reversed. For example I dream that we are moving to a horrible flat in a bad area and it is actually where we moved from and would not go back to.

    I hope you will be ok?

    1 step
    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p

    Hi :wave:

    Did anyone see the Wright Stuff this morning? There was an interesting subject of SAHMs. Apparently mums spend more time on the internet then doing housework :D What?? Never! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Not done a huge lot but:

    finished my tax returns (yes, I know it's late, but they didnt send me all the paperwork till after the deadline and my tax bill for 2009/10 is zero anyway!)

    I can now see that I actually do still have a sofa in the study - cleared off some of the rubbish; thrown lots away and put other things where they belong. It's going to take a looooooong time <sigh>

    made some HM bread in BM

    planned the measurements for the new gate.

    And that's about it really. But I am determined that this house will be clean and clutter free!
